Speaking and Facilitating
Amanda Perry is an artist, nonprofit executive, and arts advocate who speaks on creativity, arts leadership, community impact, women in the arts, and natural pigments. She has moderated panels, facilitated public conversations, and spoken at conferences, press events, festivals, and community gatherings in Connecticut.
Whether delivering remarks or moderating a panel, I believe the most meaningful conversations happen when people feel like they are part of the conversation. I prepare research, personal experiences, relevant stories and data to make complex ideas approachable and engaging.
As a speaker, I connect audiences to the bigger picture through authentic storytelling rooted in my work as an artist, arts leader, and advocate. As a moderator, I come prepared with thoughtful questions but remain open to where the conversation goes, encouraging genuine conversation between panelists rather than a series of isolated responses.
My goal is always the same: to create conversations that are insightful, accessible, and memorable.
